Start of Year Activity


  • Once your poem is written, locate or take a photo via one of your computer devices that symbolizes who you are, the essence of your poem.
  • Send your photo to Flickr along with your first name in the subject line and your I Am Poem in the email body to third35own@photos.flickr.com.
  • Since all the group’s images will be sent to this single Flickr account, you can view each other’s poems via the Flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/78773858@N03
  • You do NOT have to have a Flickr account to submit your I Am Poems nor to view other students' pictures/poems, but if you want to comment on a photo/poem (not required), you will need to have an account.
  • A full description of this activity can be found at http://community-building.weebly.com/i-am-poems.html
